Stopped - looked - started it up - didn't drive it.  Everything is wrong!

  1. $3000 higher than KBB?
  2. Small - expected it to be bigger?
  3. needs tires at 9000 miles?
  4. back seat useless 

But, oh my, it's calling my name.....

Manual?

I just found this:

undefined

Why don't we ever get the good stuff?

The G70 is basically the Coupe with 4 doors, its the smallest of the lineup. The Coupe rear seats were also for show unless you and your passenger are asian in descent and have a maximum height of 5'4"

I'm not sure if it's the right vehicle.  The Carmax isn't available as they are doing something with the title.  

I'm interested in the blue one but I'm wanting to test drive one - maybe next week.  

It's hard to leave a Silverado when it's so handy to have one but I need the equity from it to get my payment down. 

First world problems.

Still like this car - it's made its way to Waukesha, Wisconsin and it's right next to my hotel.  Time to go for a test drive except it had just rained hard and was dark out at 4:45pn today.  Not the best plus a lot of traffic. 

I liked it but didn't love it.  I spend a lot of days covering 200, 300 or more miles and I just didn't see this as a ride for long stretches of miles.  I still think it's a sharp looking car but the turbo 4-cylinder just didn't have any guts.  On to the next car/truck.

You need to drive the one with 3.3T.  It's got guts for days, thing pulls harder than a Hemi.  No manual though :/

Being hard on tires must be a thing with them, the rental I had out in Cali had them worn down to the indicators.  Was really not fun driving to the airport during a torrential downpour..

If I'm leaving my Silverado to suffer with a car it's going to have a manual transmission.  Otherwise it's another truck.
